Any1 know a good screen rotate/Flip application?

[MikeyWallStreet]

Hey I'm new to the site. I just bought my HTC Diamond Touch yesterday. I really wish when I text or email I could turn the device sideways and the screen would turn depending on how I hold the device, making it easier for me to compose a message.

Does anyone know of a program I could download, and you could you please direct me to a link where I could download the application.

Thank You

Go here and download it. Keep an eye on that thread because any updates will be posted there.

The only one I have tried so far is Flip IT...
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=1796 )

It works fairly well. The only complaint I have is that TouchFlo3D doesn't expand properly when in landscape mode...

There are other applications like GSen ( http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_util.html#gsen ) and Gyrator ( http://gyrator.brins0.net/ ) which you can try as well.

Just a word of warning that the Search capabilities of the forum are very VERY useful... Saves you all kinds of nasty responses...

This all depends on your rom. Look for one that has manila landscape.

Funny you should mention Manilla Landscape... I found it while looking for the links in my post above and it just finished installing...

All I can say is.... AWESOME! =)
No more squished TF3D!

I saw it on a HTC Pro and made a mental note to see if it was avail for the Diamond when I had a chance... Very nice!


The one negative... It whacked my Progams tab icons and my Weather setup when I installed it... Oh well... small price to pay!

Cab for Manilla Landscape can be found <here>

That's why I suggested looking or a ROM with it included. Glad you like

I tend to use it by removing all the defaults and creating entries for only the programs I want to rotate. I found the other way around I end up having a ton of exception rules (or "events").
